Guo Jingjing won’t try Nagoya’s miso katsu

November 15th, 2008 by James

Chinese “diving diva” Guo Jingjing visited Nagoya yesterday, and for some reason a Japanese reporter tried to stop her and see if she would try some miso katsu, a famous Nagoya food:


Unfortunately, she turned down the offer, saying that she had just eaten. Based on the brief encounter, it was optimistically concluded that Guo Jingjing had at least shown some interest in miso katsu.

No youv’e missed the point , now the Japanese right wing who hate China wil use this to undermine the alreday shaky relationship between the two asian giants comparig Guo’s refusal of tasting the exotic and local nagoyian cusine as china’s justified refusal to forget Japan’s part of WW2.

Maybe she was just afraid it was imported from China.

i live in Nagoya, but i really dont like miso katsu. Miso soup is ok, but miso katsu the taste is too overpowering :<

Very wise of her, I think. If she didn’t like it and shows some negative reaction, even an instinctive one, it might look rude.

Is nobody considering the fact that elite athletes like her often have very strict dietary regimes? It’s not unusual for them to follow routines which they don’t want to disrupt, so there could be a psychological element to her refusal. Besides, miso katsu is hardly a health food…

No, no, she’s a diver, right? They NEED to eat heavy food – fill her with chiffon cake and she’s gonna float….

Much ado about nothing in my opinion.
